A few things to check first. The wiring to the coil, make sure that its not shorted or broken. Next, check the coil wire (between the coil and distributor). Beg, borrow, or buy one and install it (got a second car? borrow its wire for a minute). If that's not the problem and you're certain the coil is getting power, then the only probable fault left is the coil itself. Have it checked out if you can, no sense throwing money at it if it's good.
